If the powers that be, have difficulty with a small freighter leaking gooey bunker c fuel oil, what will the same people do with mega tankers in Burrard Inlet, and LNG tankers coming down Howe Sound. This could be a recipe for disaster. So the feds shut down the coast guard station, which is shear lunacy. At least they had eye balls to see potential trouble. A conservative vote will only make matters worse, as it is obvious, B.C. isn’t on the map of Canada. A true joke!

This lands right at the feet of Harper and the Harperites he appointed to run the Coast Guard.
The delay is inexcusable caused by the closing of the Coast Guard base and dry docking of the spill response boat . That very boat has been put back in operations and announced by the Harper government like it’s something new but it is the boat they dry docked when they closed the Coast Guard base .

It’s obvious that any resource extraction is rife with problems. At any given moment a disaster of global proportions such as the English Bay calamity can take place. We must stop all private enterprise, except for starbucks, from doing business in B.C. There are unlimited positions of employment in the bureaucracy. Its time for Christy Clark to step up.
